I've noticed that some band patients have a diet mentality and some dont. I semi dieted up until good restriction..(3rd fill) Now I dont obsess about having a treat here and there. I am a year out and almost at goal. Its all a learning process...not dieting works well for me because I dont feel deprived. I still have to be cognizant of trigger situations. If I am over tired or over stressed I can overeat or eat something for emotional reasons. If I am premenstrual..I go with the flow...no pun intended. I wouldnt have time to start a thread asking about the snickers cause I would have had 3 by now. But then there are other times where I recognize I am eating for no legitimate reason whatsoever and I dont have the snickers. We do have to self analyze to change behaviors.....you win some you lose some...(weight that is)...

I just posted about the very same problem..and my first fill is Oct 30th too. I have just discovered in the past few days I can eat whatever I want with no problem at all...now I feel I am back where I started pre-band..I am praying the first fill will turn things around again.

Get rid of the snickers. You won't eat just one you'll eat the entire bag. Think of the rewards that you'll get a little later like good/improved health etc.

I was banded on July 23 and have not lost anything for over 2 months - I have been eating and drinking anything I wanted - it has been bad - the good thing is that I have not gained and have been very busy with my neighbor 45 yrs old that is fighting cancer - she is single and I just have kind of put my weightloss on hold for other improtant things - but I feel good and have lost some and at this time I have only 1 cc in my band and go back on the 29th for another ----hope he gives me more this time - but I just wanted to let everyone know that you are not alone and sometimes we just do what we have to do and at this time, I just am doing that - wish me well in the long run and I know that someday I will be thinner and even more healthy!!! p.s. I haven't had to take any meds for my diabetes since surgery ----so I must be doing something right ;)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
